BUFFALO (AP) -- Gov. Andrew Cuomo is headed to western New York to sign the state budget that was passed by the Legislature last week.

Cuomo is scheduled to hold ceremonial signings of the spending plan at noon Monday at the University of Buffalo's South Campus and at 2:15 p.m. at the Rochester Riverside Convention Center. More budget signings are expected in other parts of the state later this week.

Lawmakers completed passage of the $135 billion budget late Thursday night, three days before the March 31 deadline. That gave the state its third-consecutive on-time budget.
